Wu La Li didn’t expect Sima You Yue to be so straightforward, as if she wasn’t on guard against him. He was secretly pleased.
“How are you?” He asked.
Sima You Yue felt herself. Except for almost choking then, she didn’t feel anything.
“Nothing peculiar.” She honestly answered.
“Hah-hah. You’ll feel something once you go underwater.” Wu La Li chuckled. “Let’s go. We’re going down.”
“Can’t we use a space passageway?” Sima You Yue followed him.
“The pressure underwater is different, so the positioning of the space passageway wouldn’t be accurate.
“Oh.”
Two people were walking further and further away from the two stationary guards.
“His Highness actually gave the Underwater Pearl to that human?”
“Didn’t you see?”
“But that’s the Underwater Pearl! The precious Underwater Pearl. Why would his highness gave it to her for consumption? Isn’t it better giving her the red Underwater Pearl?”
The Underwater Pearl Sima You Yue consumed was turquoise blue. After consumption, it would stay in her body and she would be able to freely breathe underwater anytime. While the red Underwater Pearl was temporary. It could stay in the body for a month. After a month, it would lose its effect. Red Underwater Pearls weren’t uncommon, whereas turquoise blue Underwater Pearls were rare, there were only several in the whole seafloor.
“His Highness seems to treat her particularly.”
“What particularly, it’s very particular. Look, His Highness is smiling at her! When has his highness ever smile at us?”
“Does His Highness like her?”
“Unlikely? She’s a man, who’s somewhat effeminate.”
“What’s wrong with men. Do men like men less?”
“But I haven’t seen His Highness like men before?”
“Before is before, now is now. If your highness didn’t like it before, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t like it now. Maybe it just proves the human saying, it’s not because I like you because I like men but I like you, and you are a man. Oh, what romantic love talk.”
“If you continue to spout love talk, His Highness will bestow you a corpse.” A guard reprimanded before walking away. The other guard called out and ran to catch up.
They cross through the woods, over the mountains and saw a vastness sea.
“Ah, all things special of the sea is the water. All things special of the spider is its legs.” Facing the sea, she spread her arms and emotionally sighed.
“Hmm?” Wu La Li looked puzzledly at her.
“Cough, cough, this is a sentence I heard before.” Sima You Yue said awkwardly, “Shall we go down now?”
“Mm.” All of a sudden, Wu La Li put his arms around her waist, flew to the sky, and then plunged into the water.
Before going underwater, Sima You Yue had subconsciously closed her eyes and mouth. In the moment of plunging underwater, she felt that her body was completely enclosed, and a huge impact force pressed against her, but stopped around her body.
She opened her eyes and found that her body was covered with a thin film, which isolated the water from the outside and ensured her smooth breathing without being squeezed by strong pressure.
“Is this the function of the Underwater Pearl?” She asked delightedly.
“Yes.” Wu La Li answered. “We can breathe freely underwater, but you humans cannot. With this, you’ll be the same underwater and on land.”
“Thank you.” Sima You Yue felt grateful.
